eth_getBlockTransactionCountByNumber | Fantom

​

Parameters

• quantity or tag — the integer of a block encoded as hexadecimal or the string with:
  • latest — the most recent block in the blockchain and the current state of the blockchain at the most recent block. A chain reorganization is to be expected.
  • safe—the block that received justification from the beacon chain. Although this block could be involved in a chain reorganization, it would necessitate either a coordinated attack by the majority of validators or severe propagation latency.
  • finalized—the block accepted as canonical by more than 2/3 of the validators. A chain reorganization is extremely unlikely, requiring burning at least 1/3 of the staked amount.
  • earliest — the earliest available or genesis block.
  • pending—the pending state and transactions block. This is the current state of transactions that have been broadcast to the network but have not yet been included in a block.

​

Response

• quantity — an integer value representing how many transactions are included in the block.
